Chapter 2 (The fateful encounter)

All boys are selfish

They only care for themselves

Stingy, arrogant, and barbaric

That's why I hate all of you

Until I met someone… Like you

Summer Break

3210 A.D.

What a long break from all these selfish, arrogant people. I went home and then just continued up stairs in my room. I thought to myself *such a long break and nothing to do I better call my cousin over*. I held up my phone and then called. "Hellooooo! Who is it!" my cousin shouted in the phone. My cousin is 12 years old. She's really hyperactive and likes to play around a lot. "It's me Yukiko want to come over" I replied "SURE! I'll bring something over too it's going to be really fun." She hung up

Sigh there's nothing to do as I waited for my cousin to arrive I thought about the past. "Father where are you going father don't' leave me" "I won't be gone for long Yukiko not for long, I promise I'll come back" "No mom's where dad, Where's daddy" my mom looked at his picture and cried. She replied in a soft tone. "Daddy went somewhere, far away. He'll come back soon really soon" Those were the words I trusted as I waited for him to come home but he never did. Before I knew it I thought of everyone of the boys as nothing and just ignored them.

I woke up from the door bell "Ding dong Ding dong" I ran down stairs and opened the door seeing my cousin holding two boxes. "What are they?" I asked with curiosity. "Heheh you wouldn't have guess I got it the newest game New World, actually I wanted to play it with you so I ran here as fast as I could." "New world what game is ….." I asked again, but before I could finish the sentence she shouted " YOU DON'T KNOW NEW WORLD, it's the most famous game right now with a realism of 99% you play it on the FMD didn't you know, Yukiko let's go play" She rushed up to my room and took the futon and just lied down. I put on the FMD like she said and started.

A strange system indeed the newest technology used to make this game. I wondered as the scanned came down and scanned my body.

Loading….

Do you have a load code from the last game "The World"

Yes/No

I pressed no because I've never even played a game like this before. Then appears a manual book where they tell you how to play the game. I started at a village called Newbie Town where most people gather who just started the game. I wondered around and then spotted my friend at school. She shouted "Hey Yukiko over here" She waved at me. I walked over to her. Her name is Sui she is in the same class as me. "Umm.. Sui what are you doing" "Don't call me Sui in the game I have my character name you know! It's Starlight" She said quickly while adding more "I'm waiting for Rise to come online she promised to start a new account with me today helping me, you can come too if you like Yukiko" "My character name is Chakra and don't call me Yukiko like I won't call you Sui Starlight"

Newbie Town Square (The town of new heroes)

We waited for Rise for about 10 minutes then she came online, then she spotted us and ran to us. "Sorry I'm late I didn't know what to transfer into my new character from the old game so shall we begin. Oh! Yukiko you're here too call me Iris" "My character name is Chakra and Sui's character name is Starlight I just started today please guide me Rise-sensei". She replied real quick "You better not call me sensei or I'm not helping either of you today" she turned around real quick. Starlight said "Let's just go don't waste too much time we wasted enough time waiting for you to arrive already.

We went to the weapon store then potion store to buy equipments for me and Sui of course we didn't have money and Rise had to pay for us both. Then not long after we gathered at the front gate of the east side of the Newbie town where we trained until we reached level 10. Rise brought us both to our job master. The NPC that I went to is a floating woman with wings she looked like an angel where it feels warm being near her. I then changed my job to a Cleric. After we changed jobs we left for the main city of Damascus the town of all trades.

Damascus (The town of all trades)

I wandered around the town for a while as I waited for Rise to find equipments for us at the free market. The town is huge with tons of people of all level here. I walked past many Guilds, Stores, and NPC to kill time. Then someone from behind said to me "Hello, do you have a moment?" he is about our age and asked me. "Are you Yukiko from Seikaku Junior High" Then I replied back "Yes and do you have a problem with that" "Oh not at all I just wanted to talk to you a little is that ok, your really famous Oh I'm Kai from Yamagi Junior High nice to meet you." I just ignored him and walked on back to the town square.

"Chakra let's get going" Rise shouted. We walked through the town and reached an entrance out of town on the south side. As we walk to the south side of town Sui asked "Chakra~ who is that boy who you talked with just now, he was quiet handsome you know" I replied back annoyed "If you really want to know his name is Kai and character name is Theodor." Sui said again "Oh~ Chakra knows quite a lot about him don't you Chakra" I answered "BECAUSE HE WAS ANNOYING ME" Rise intercepted "Can you stop talking nonsense if you don't want your stuff you could continue" After that I thought it is best to keep quiet. I didn't really know that Rise could be the one to take command because she is always quiet at school. So it's true people change when it comes to playing a game.

The Mushroom fields (South fields of Damascus)

It's strange that in this game you have to eat also 1 hour here is only 20 minutes in the real world so we have to eat while playing a game. I asked Rise "Iris why do you get hungry in the game" Rise answered "Of course to make it more interspersing and more realist you idiot" Rise was shooting her arrows at the mushrooms around the area to help us level up as I cast heal on Sui that is hitting the mushroom in the corner of the map. Mushroom field is a place with monsters of level 11 - level 24. The lowest level monster is baby mushroom that is so cute that you wouldn't want to kill it to giant poisonous mushrooms that looked bad and even smelled bad.

Then after a few hours had pass by I reached level 20 while Iris is level 22 and Starlight is level 21. We continued walking deep into a cave in the mushroom fields. The cave is called The Dark Path (Mushroom field) I really think the author of this game really have no sense in naming stuff. We walked in deeper and deeper as we reached a so called boss called Mushroom King. The monster looked so old that it didn't seem to be able to move. It was a monster level 24 which is consider hard to kill. I held my staff ready to cast heal as the battle begun.

Mushroom king has summoned Mushroom Knight (X3) then 3 Mushroom knights level 23 appeared in front of the king. It is a strange looking mushroom, the mushroom wore a small helmet that didn't even fit it's head but it was so cute that you didn't want to hurt it. But it's still a monster of the game. I casted some buffs1 for Iris and Starlight. *Increase accuracy, Increase Strength, Increase Hp, Increase Mp, Concentration, Iron Wall*In which my buff weren't that good yet I still had to cast heal multiple times. As Starlight rushed in and smashed Mushroom Knights as Iris aimed her arrows at the boss Mushroom King. The battle lasted at least an hour before we beat the Mushroom Rise told us that she had to go somewhere urgent and logged off after the battle ended. Me and Sui shared the loot2 of the Mushroom King and went back to town. I reached level 21 after the battle of the Mushroom King and gained quiet a lot of money.

Damascus (The town of all trades)

After reaching town I wondered around in the town for a while then. Entered a alley way where at the end of the alley way stood a person and one other person lying down. The person that was standing said to me "Hey miss I have something to give you would you mind coming here for a while." I looked away and saw that I was surrounded by three thugs. Many people looking in the alley way just walked past ignoring. It's to be expected I thought to myself there is no decent boys out there that would do something so reckless for someone other than themselves. Just like these thugs where they don't care who it is as long as they could mess with people and gain something in exchange.

The suddenly a young boy a little taller than me came walking in the alley. He walked pass the two thugs and then grabbed on to my hands. He spoke up "Oh sorry is my sister bothering you I'm really sorry will you excuse us" I thought to myself what a coward. He's now acting like I'm his sister and thinks he can get away with it. I bet he wants something in return from me like a prize or something helping me out of this mess. Then the thug that looked like the leader stepped forward and said "Look here young man if you don't want a problem leave the young lady here and scram" I knew instantly when I checked his level that he would just run away after the thug said that. But he didn't the thug looked strange as if they were talking about something in whisper. I didn't see the face of the person the thug was talking with. I just wanted to say to him so I whispered to him * Um…. Its ok I think I can handle it* because I knew that he would want something in return and I didn't want to have a problem with anyone. But he answered in a tone that was quiet caring that * It's ok Yukiko I know who you are and I don't wish to leave you alone* I was surprised when he said that. He was certainly someone from my school and has blocked his name so I can't see it.

Then after a long debate the thug took out his weapon and said out loud. "Are you mocking me you little brat know your lesson" he swung his sword down at the newbie or it seem. But then the sword was blocked easily with one of the daggers that shine a bright color. It was the color of the sun looking at it made you feel safe. Then the boy said out loud also "Oh yeah have you ever knew the person named Assassinator in the forums where they said that he cleared each event alone have you ever thought that it might be me?" Huh? Assassinator… a strange name I thought that I heard my friend talk about a mysterious player named Assassinator who was famous during the last game The World.

I thought about it and remember the past when my friends were talking about this Assassinator guy. "Oh did you know the top player in The World is from our school " "Not only that I heard there was a mysterious player named Assassinator in the forums says that he's second place and would like to keep his profile empty" "What a strange guy to be second place and what to hide it" "Yeah it's really strange" "There's other rumors that he found the dagger of light and darkness the only pair in the game" "Oh he's really amazing I would want to meet him at least once" "There's been a strange rumor that he's only a boy at our age and many people claim to be the real Assassinator but then they were challenged and always lost.

Is this person that has such a low level really the Assassinator and why does he want to help me? Does he want something from me? Knowing he's a person I know I knew that he's up to no good. The boss of the thug shouted out "What a joke boys let's just kill them all" then suddenly he pushed me backwards and then I fell straight to the floor. He whispered to me * close your eyes it'll be over in a second* I saw him holding two daggers out. One showed a dark aura that everyone feared and the other a holy aura where you'll feel calm when you look at it. The boy chanted "Darkness and light combine together to create the strongest weapon." The two auras swirled and combined together to create a bright light *HOLY STANCE DEMON RUSH*. Then suddenly all the three thugs changed to pillar of light. Then he whispered to me again as I felt amazed seeing what he have done to three high level people. *its fine now next time find someone to protect you working alone will get you nowhere* Then he just walked away.

I thought to myself over and over again. Is there really a person who would want nothing in return once he has done something like this for others? There might be really a person who would in this world after all. I ran after him but before I knew it I lost sight of him. I really wanted to know who he was or at least say thank you to him. I logged off not long after attempting to search for him in town but saw nobody that looked alike to him at all.

Back at home (Morning around 9:30 am)

I woke up early and saw my cousin still on the FMD. I didn't want to wake her up so I went to the kitchen and made breakfast for two people. My mother went on a business trip so I live alone right now. Living with my cousin isn't so bad after all it's better than living alone. Then after a while I heard footsteps from upstairs getting louder and louder. "YUKIKO-NEECHAN GIVE ME BREAKFAST" my cousin shouted. "There's no need to shout Yukari I already prepared breakfast for you and give a call to your mother that you'll be here today. "Ok Yukiko-neechan, and how is the game, its fun right." I answered while thinking about the guy named assassinator "Yeah. It's quiet interesting" "She replied instantly "Isn't it next time let's play together neechan my character name is Yukari also so please talk to me, ok?" I asked her plainly without knowing "You played in the old version The World right, did you know anyone named assassinator" She looked surprised upon hearing that name. "You know I've met the real Assassinator once too he was….." then the story began.

Before summer break started one year ago

Yukari (At school)

"Do you know Assassinator Yukari I heard his names in the forums of The World and people say that he's so cool" her classmate named Jess said to her. "I've never heard of him before" I replied. We were in the classroom talking to each other when Nikki came to us and said "Do you know last night I was nearly killed by a boss then suddenly a person wearing a cloak just appeared and saved me from the boss, he didn't tell me his name but I went to check the forums his description fits with Assassinator" "Really? And what did you talk with him about did he reply to you" I asked Nikki. "Actually he said that he wanted to meet me again too do you guys want to come too I mean he's a legend don't you agree" "I really want to meet him Nikki let's meet up at Moonstone square at 7:00 pm" Jess said "I'll tag along too" I said. "It's decided then let's go!"

Online The World (Around 7:00 pm)

As I logged on to my character Yukari I ran into my friends Nikki and Jess we wondered around for a while and then Nikki received a instant mail from a mysterious sender that states he's Assassinator and tells us to meet him in the Eastern forest of Valkesh. When we reached to be expected there was a person standing there. He was wearing a cloak and hidden name like the description of the real Assassinator but then suddenly we were surrounded by a lot of people who wore the same type of cloak as that person. The person said out loud "Hahaha you expect me to be the real legend I bet all the crap in the forums are just made up" as he took off his mask and showed his name to us. "Young ladies you've just got tricked" Then suddenly another person came walking by through the crowd. He was wearing the same type of cloak as the guy who just tricked us and then said. "Is this where the strange rumors started about me?" The young man said out loud. He whispered to us *Hey did he say that he was named Assassinator?* I answered back to him *Yes he did and he tricked us* Then he took out two daggers from his strap around his waist.

"Hey I have never spread rumors about my appearance or made the name Assassinator, and I do not wish to be called this too but then after a while rumors spread too fast and there are too many fakes who taint my pride. Even though I'm called a legend I'm just a normal played like you" He said out loud to everyone around the area. The head of the bandits said "So you're the real one I've been wanted to meet you now everyone get him" The bandits charged into him and in an instant all of the bandits around the area died. I mean it was just a blink of eye. His dagger glowed a strange color as he chanted a spell suddenly he appeared at the back of the Leader of the Bandits and said "Do you know why people make rumors that my name is Assassinator I'll tell you it's because I assassinate people really silently" Then he silts the bandit's throat.

Nikki and Jess started at him with amazement. Nikki said "Are you the real one the legend?" He turned towards us and said "Don't ask about me and I'll not ask about you" and he walked away. Both Jess and Nikki said together "So cool!" I also thought that he was cool that he saved me and from that day. I knew that I wanted to find more about him and meet him again.

Back at the present

Back at home (Morning around 11:00 am)

After eating dinner and listing to Yukari speaking about the mysterious person named Assassinator it was already 11:00 am. I told Yukari to go home to her mother and I went upstairs back into my room then opened my computer. I searched in the old The World forums for the name Assassinator the few last final post is…. I'll be waiting for you in New World thank you for saving me from those people. Searching the history there has been many cases concerning the fake Assassinator but the real one always shows up in these cases if the case was setup he will never appear. People say he might be a hidden GM and some say he's a ledged.

I wondered to myself for so long that did I really meet such a person in the game. If it really is him so how did he know my name? Is the real Assassinator only in high school and also in our school? I really wanted to find out more about this mysterious person. Wondering will get me nowhere so I called my friends over. "Sui do you want to come over to my house my mom's not here today" "Sure why not let's finish our summer homework today." "Yeah I agree let's finish it all today" I put down the phone then called Rise "Rise! How are you? Are you busy?" "No I'm not busy what do you want" "Want to come over to finish summer homework Sui is coming too" "Sure why not I'll come over in a moment" After putting down my phone I waited for Sui and Rise to arrive. I went downstairs then ate a few quickly made sandwiches for lunch then not long after Sui and Rise arrived.

Home (Around 1:00 pm)

*Ding dong* I ran towards the door there Rise and Sui came in and said "Sorry to intrude". I brought them into the living room. Then they started taking their homework out and putting it on the table. Sui wasn't so good at school like me and Rise so we tend to help her most of the times to explain the parts she doesn't understand. I walked into the kitchen and brought out cookies and some milk after a few hours of studying. I said out "Let's take a break shall we" Sui who was listening to Rise said "Yippee! a break" and just lie down on the living room floor. Then after finishing the cookies Rise brought up the topic. "Did you know there is a guild that consists of multiple veterans in The World in New World and the leader of the guild seems to be someone from our school?" "Yeah, Yeah I know that too" Sui said out loud." Then after a few minutes of discussing we plan in taking a visit in the guild.

I was quiet happy to be able to join a guild like that after hearing there are many veterans from the game The World because I might find more clues about who Assassinator really is. Then after a few more hours of studying it was nearly 6:00 pm Rise and Sui left after saying their good bye. We planned on meeting in the Damascus town square.

Logging in

Welcome back to New World Chakra

Damascus (The town of all trades)

I went to the town square where we planned to meet then Starlight and Iris logged in. Then Iris brought us to the guild entrance. It was an entrance that led down stairs there was two guards standing on the door to the guild. We just walked into the guild and headed over to the guild master's room.

Dark shifters (The guild hideout)

We entered the guild and went to the guild master's room. *knock knock*. We entered the room. The guild master was reading a book in his chair quietly as we walk in he hid his book away and said "My my I didn't know girls at our school would come to join my guild, actually I don't take new players but your actually someone I know so I'll let you join." As he said that he took off his mask that hid his identity. It was Jin his character name is Naraki. "So the rumors are true where the number one player is from our school" Rise spoke up. "Yeah it might be true or not but I didn't wish to become number one or something" he replied. After Rise and Sui left the room I spoke up and ask Jin. "Do you know someone named Assassinator" He replied straight forward "If your finding him I have no clue to find him but I do know him, not on a personal level try and ask around you might find some clues" I bowed once to show my gratitude and left the room.

In the guild I asked around for clues about him and no one had an exact answer but then when I was about to leave the guild I met someone who looked the same as the person who save me walk into the guild with two other people. It was my classmates Shun and Sei I didn't know them too well but at least I know it's them. I waited around the square for a while. After that I saw the man who was wearing the cloak walk out. He just ignored me and walked on. Then suddenly he turned around and put down his cloak. He said "Oh your from our school right?" then he asked again "You sit behind me right?" Then I knew instantly. "Akira? I thought you didn't play games" I requested a equipment check and all he had was a few potions and low level equips certainly not him. Then he answered quickly "oh I just started yesterday Sei and Shun forced me to play I better go" I still have my doubts for him so I asked him "Wait were you the one who saved me yesterday because you look really alike to him?" He just replied with a confused face "What are you talking about *saving you* I never did sorry I'm busy" Then he just walked away.

My last clue on finding him was lost and I wish to find the real Assassinator. Who are you and where are you? At least tell me your name or who you are? Stop making me think so much about you, who you think you are. I went back to Sui and Rise and then they told me to go to Rakishi the town of heroes to form a party of 4 with another person that's waiting there. So then I talked to the NPC travel agent and then reached the town of Rakishi.
